Cardinals open Week 2 as heavy favorites over Washington
The Arizona Cardinals are coming off a Week 1 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The win was impressive. Their next opponent, the Washington Football Team, also won their season opener, a 27-17 comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The wins were not seen as equal by Vegas oddsmakers.
Week 2 opening lines came out Sunday evening and the Cardinals are heavy favorites to win their home opener over Washington, according to BetMGM.
On the money line, the Cardinals are -295 while Washington is +240, meaning you have to bet roughly three times what you will win to wager on the Cardinals, while you can win nearly two and a half times what you bet on Washington.
The Cardinals are also 6.5-point favorites against the spread. To win a bet on the Cardinals here, they would have to win by a touchdown or more, while a bet on Washington wins if they keep it within six points or less.
The over/under is set at 45.5 points. Both teams’ season openers had a combined point total of 44 points.
